Abstract

We construct a solution to the spatially periodic dd-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with a given distribution of the initial data. The solution takes values in the Sobolev space HαH^\alpha, where the index αR\alpha\in R is fixed arbitrary. The distribution of the initial value is a Gaussian measure on HαH^\alpha whose parameters depend on α\alpha. The Navier-Stokes solution is then a stochastic process verifying the Navier-Stokes equations almost surely. It is obtained as a limit in distribution of solutions to finite-dimensional ODEs which are Galerkin-type approximations for the Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, the constructed Navier-Stokes solution U(t,ω)U(t,\omega) possesses the property: E[f(U(t,ω))]=Hαf(etνΔu)γ(du)E[f(U(t,\omega))] = \int_{H^\alpha} f(e^{t\nu\Delta} u) \gamma(du), where fL1(γ)f \in L_1(\gamma), etΔe^{t \Delta} is the heat semigroup, ν\nu is the viscosity in the Navier-Stokes equations, and γ\gamma is the distribution of the initial data.
